Due to exams I missed the Internet Hype Train when it left for E3. But now that I caught the ride home, all I can say is:
I'm F*****G getting one of these things!
And if it's not out for christmas, 2010 will have had the most disappointing christmas ever - with everyone wanting what they can't have. But let's hope we can, anyway:D
It's better as a single-player game IMO - or rather, it's less frustrating. I played a couple of levels in world 2 and 3 with my dad, and it was chaotic to say the least. I can't imagine how terrible it would be with 4 players on some of the harder levels, especially since a few of them actually seem to be designed for 1 player (with some levels it's the other way around). Anyway, after completing the game I went back to those same levels and found them to be much easier alone. It's still challenging enough for me, though those who find SMW and SMB3 to be cakewalks - if any such people exist - may be disappointed =D
Hmmm ... an online co-op FPS on the Wii is definitely something I will applaud. It looks a bit like the horrendously ugly Killing Floor, which is good fun in spite of everything that's wrong with it. I hope the same will apply for The Grinder.
This is a nice move from Nintendo, a bit like Super Mario All Stars on the SNES. Even though I have all three games, I'm tempted to pick this up, if only for the added Wii controls in 1+2.
I didn't enjoy NMH at all. I tried to, even put almost four hours into it, but it just didn't click with me. Even if I ignore the most painful parts of it (the driving and side-jobs), the combat was just not much fun. Perhaps it didn't help that I started playing it at the same time as the totally awesome God Hand.
This news and Golgo's comment reminds me, though, that I've got an almost unplayed copy of Killer 7. I must give that another try at some point.
It's nice to have updated versions of their previous efforts (the golf really needed improvement). As long as it means we're still getting some proper new sports like volleyball.
I'm betting on an Elder Scrolls spin-off or a new franchise with more stylized visuals than their usual shiny brown. Hopefully they will hire someone to do proper animations. And let the world be much (and I mean much!) smaller with more variety and polish.
Just had my first go at this, completed the first four levels in the Viking campaign. Already it seems to be challenging me a bit, because I lost levels 3 and 4 on my first try. It's nice that it's so easily accesible, but not a complete push-over in the beginning. It's just nice and simple fast-paced fun. Nothing spectacular, but fun.
With this and Little King's story, my Wii is all about light-hearted world domination these days =)
Wut! Parents didn't buy this for their Cars-loving kids!? It looks like the craziest kind of racing fun out there. Definitely 1000x more exciting to me than any Gran Turismo/Forza/Project Gotham could ever be.
It's a beautiful game. And Wayforwad is a great developer. Contra 4 is a favourite of mine.
But I have to say it: After watching the gameplay videos, it doesn't look like the kind of platformer I'd like. Too slow, too puzzley. And too much like the original. A game that I hated playing.
One of my favourite Gamecube games. In fact, it is one of my favourite platformers of all time. Significantly better than the Donkey Kong Countries, if you ask me!
It looks fun! But I actually thought you'd be dodging by moving nunchuk+remote left or right (like Wii Sports boxing). But it's probably better this way, more precise.
No way! I prefer Contra myself. Mostly because your character is way faster and more agile. I just think Metal Slug, while visually much more pleasing, is a little too slow.

Re: E3 2012: Watch the Nintendo Press Conference Live Here
Here's my shopping list for the Wii U launch window:
Re: E3 2012: Watch the Nintendo Press Conference Live Here
They had 23 games to show, 22 of which was in that mini game collection. Wow!
Re: E3 2012: Pre-E3 Nintendo Direct Round Up
Can't wait to call pedograndpa123 and ask how for help.
Re: Talking Point: Why Gaming Needs E3
Gaming needs E3 because this year I will be there, talking about important stuff.

Re: DS is the UK's Best-Selling Console Ever
I think it must be my most played console by now, and I still have nothing but the grey old fat model. Time to upgrade, maybe.
Re: Phantasy Star Ø
In Denmark it's the first letter in 'beer'.
Re: Phantasy Star Ø
What's with the Ø in the title?
Re: Review: Muramasa: The Demon Blade (Wii)
This is the most boring game I've played this year. No need to be crude about it - Moderating team
Re: Prime Yourself for More Metroid
Meh, I'm with Rensch. Gimme a new sidescrolling Metroid. Didn't like Metroid Prime: Hunters at all on the DS.

Re: Oh No, There's a Zombie Panic in Wonderland
As mentioned, this looks and sounds a lot like Little Red Riding Hood's Zombie BBQ for the DS. I wonder if it's the same developer.
Re: Confirmed: New Super Mario Bros. Wii
This is awesome! I always wanted 2 players simultaneously in the old Mario Bros. games, but four is even better!
Re: Oh, So That's The E3 Dead Space: Extraction Demo
Gotta agree with you, Smoke, this is just too slow. The completely wrong approach for a light-gun game, if you ask me (or Sega =)).
Re: Gladiator A.D. Trailer Is Ready To Shower You In Gore
That is amazing. An amazingly horrible trailer for what I expect to be an equally horrible game.
Re: The Grinder Is High Voltage's Second New IP
Hmmm ... an online co-op FPS on the Wii is definitely something I will applaud. It looks a bit like the horrendously ugly Killing Floor, which is good fun in spite of everything that's wrong with it. I hope the same will apply for The Grinder.

This is a nice move from Nintendo, a bit like Super Mario All Stars on the SNES. Even though I have all three games, I'm tempted to pick this up, if only for the added Wii controls in 1+2.
Re: Nintendo Fandom Downcast At Revelation That Miyamoto Is "Not God"
But I thought it was HIM that made the Wii print money???

It's nice to have updated versions of their previous efforts (the golf really needed improvement). As long as it means we're still getting some proper new sports like volleyball.
Re: First Look: Max & the Magic Marker
It's a bit like that Drawn to Life game, which I thought was terrible. This looks better, though.
Re: Bethesda Has "Really Big" Plans For Wii
I'm betting on an Elder Scrolls spin-off or a new franchise with more stylized visuals than their usual shiny brown. Hopefully they will hire someone to do proper animations. And let the world be much (and I mean much!) smaller with more variety and polish.

Re: Review: Swords & Soldiers (WiiWare)
It's my next WiiWare purchase, and the first this year actually. It's nice to see another quality game on there for once =D
Re: Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom Coming to US, Says Nintendo Power
It must come to Europe as well. It must!
Re: Scribblenauts (DS) Trailer
I bet I can't write censored in that game.
Re: Review: Mario Kart: Double Dash!! (GameCube)
This is the one Mario Kart I have never played. Maybe I should track it down!
Re: Eternity's Child Status Update
I have a vague memory of playing a demo of this on PC. I don't think I liked it.
Re: Namco's Muscle March Possibly Most Bizarre WiiWare Game Yet
Seriously, it looks like the best weird thing to come out of Japan since Katamari.
Re: Could a New Rocket Knight Adventures Game Be On The Way?
YEAH!!!!!
Re: Excitebots Crashes Out At Retail
Wut! Parents didn't buy this for their Cars-loving kids!? It looks like the craziest kind of racing fun out there. Definitely 1000x more exciting to me than any Gran Turismo/Forza/Project Gotham could ever be.
Re: First Impressions: Contra ReBirth
It's my most wanted Wiiware game, it better get to Europeland soon!
Re: Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles Spoilers Leaked?
It's too amazing to talk about! Seriously!!!
Re: Swords & Soldiers
Tomorrow!!!
Re: Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles Spoilers Leaked?
Seriously, I can't believe it. Totally amazing!!!!
Re: Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles Spoilers Leaked?
Wooooaahhhhhh!!!!!!!
Re: All new Icarian: Kindred Spirits screenshots
Doesn't look too exciting from the vids I've seen. Like a slightly more dull version of LostWinds.
Re: Exclusive New A Boy and His Blob Screenshots
It's a beautiful game. And Wayforwad is a great developer. Contra 4 is a favourite of mine.
But I have to say it: After watching the gameplay videos, it doesn't look like the kind of platformer I'd like. Too slow, too puzzley. And too much like the original. A game that I hated playing.
Re: Review: New Play Control! Donkey Kong Jungle Beat (Wii)
One of my favourite Gamecube games. In fact, it is one of my favourite platformers of all time. Significantly better than the Donkey Kong Countries, if you ask me!
Re: de Blob
Why no review of this!?
Re: Capcom Confirms Monster Hunter 3 Tri For Western Release
Screw DMC! I want God Hand 2 on the Wii =)=)=)
Edit: Oh wait, Clover developed it... but I guess Capcom owns the IP.
Re: Punch-Out!! lesson with Doc Louis
It looks fun! But I actually thought you'd be dodging by moving nunchuk+remote left or right (like Wii Sports boxing). But it's probably better this way, more precise.
BTW, I've never seen The Wire.
Re: Little Mac in live-action Punch-Out!! commercial
Awesome trailer!
edit: I mean commercial =)
Re: Swords & Soldiers Wages War in Europe Next Week
I think PvZ may well be my GOTY so far =)
Re: Swords & Soldiers Wages War in Europe Next Week
Plants vs. Zombies rocks! I hope this will as well.
Re: Review: Klonoa (Wii)
I will be buying it once I finish Klonoa 2. Looking forward to it!
Re: Contra ReBirth Announced, Approaching
No way! I prefer Contra myself. Mostly because your character is way faster and more agile. I just think Metal Slug, while visually much more pleasing, is a little too slow.
Re: Contra ReBirth Announced, Approaching
Yesssss! Contra rocks!
Re: NPC Jungle Beat Gets Euro Date
I feel like buying it all over again, one of my favourite platformers. It's just way too expensive like the rest of those NPC games.
Re: Review: Little King's Story (Wii)
This games looks amazing, and truly original! I am going to order it now
